Encouragement goes a long way
2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV
[9] But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

The Bible is filled with alot of Gems and can you believe all craziness that was going on in the Corinthian Church my goodness! SCANDALOUS FOR REAL!
Some of us be surprised about all the shenanigans that are going on in today's churches forgetting that we are all striving to be more like Christ.
No, the weaknesses we struggle with regarding our bodies, thoughts, actions, and words are NOT to be celebrated but rather recognize that these are the very things God will use as our strength as we are transformed through Christ while remaining obedient to his word.
Although; 2 Cor 12:9 is a great verse to hold onto, there is great value in reading all of Corinthians to read about all of what Paul was urging and advising for the Corinthian Christians to do.
There's a lot for us to learn there.
